“Even if I lose everything…,“ Arvo Pärt has written in his workbook. He calls the diary his workbooks.

Pärnography

Original title: Mees animatsoonist

2005 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Hardi Volmer

A closer examination of Pärn and other Estonian animators reveals that Estonia was not sung or fought to freedom. It was liberated via animation!

Instead of facing his piano he is solving crossword puzzles. Meanwhile, he is pondering on for how many years he has been involved in runic songs - some fifty years altogether. It ...
